The house fire that spread across the block hit the Eastgate district on 28 August. My home was one of 73 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall. The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming. Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before. We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $6,150 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,600 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,000 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $680 • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,870 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Beata

Updates from Beata

  1. Small update. $2,466 so far, I made the first payment toward bedding, blankets and mattresses.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,533 in total) I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $835 so far, I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.

    Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne

    • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Beata

      • Tools and labor for repairs is $1,600 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.

      hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.

      • is there anything that isn't money that would help Beata?

        • Thank you. If you're in Newcastle upon Tyne I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

      • Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

        • take care, Beata. This could happen to any of us. All the best

            Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

            • Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Kingston donated after I showed her your page. Take care.

              • projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne.
